NEW SPRINGVILLE — Imagine a world filled with locally-sourced spuds (when available) cooked into dishes like Sheperd's pie. Imagine those potatoes are called out by varietal — Russet, Jumbo Yam and Kennebec — on the menu.

Bliss, a Staten Islander might say. But Allen Dikker, founder of the casual restaurant chain Potatopia, might correct a foodie here and say "red bliss," noting the uniqueness of the item. The entrepreneur is set to open his third location of the casual eatery — his first on Staten Island — in early July.

"Regarding the decision as to why I chose Staten Island Mall, it originated from the many requests that we got from our weekend customers at the Menlo Park Mall location," wrote Dikker in an email.

"When we did decide to finally move forward with opening at the Staten Island Mall, it was only after GGP (General Growth Properties) approached us to open and gave us, in our opinion, a prime location," explained Dikker.

The eatery will be set upstairs at the Mall's Center Court.

The Potatopia concept came about in December, 2011. Riscala Agnese Design Group (RAD), of Midtown, Manhattan, designed the chain spaces, other which are in the West Village and, as noted, in Edison, N.J.

Potatopia's menu offers potatoes preparations like fries that are baked, curly, shoestring, crinkle, au gratin and tater-tot style. Creations can be topped with assorted vegetables, served smashed or as a Shepherd's Pie.
